His other hits include “Wild and Blue” and “Swingin.’” This acoustic show is billed as an intimate evening.

'Iconic'

"Iconic," The Harlequin's latest original musical revue, dives into the music of superstars such as Stevie Wonder, Elvis, James Brown, Cher and Tina Turner, among others. The show is the creation of Shawn Kjos. Note for those who might not have been to the theater in a while: It is no longer a dinner theater, though the bar is still open and peckish patrons can buy snacks there.

The latest offering in Boerne Community Theatre's Theatre on the Edge series, which features edgier works than the company usually tackles, is "Pied-A-Terre," John Anastasi's drama in which a woman discovers an apartment her husband has owned in secret. She soon also meets a young woman there with whom, she discovers, she has more in common than she might have expected.

This superstar comedy cowboy has been a hit on the trail for nearly two decades with a formula that's proven winning since his breakout album, "Hangin' With Rodney." The stand-up comedian, singer-songwriter, author and actor has found success on the Billboard charts and on television with his ABC sitcom "Rodney" and various comedy specials. He dipped his toes onto the big screen with Toby Keith in 2008 in "Beer For My Horses," but really shines onstage as a top concert draw. Carrington's current tour is called Here Comes the Truth.

The Wild Reeds

If the Haim sisters filtered their L.A. singer-songwriter sound through girl groups and rockabilly reverb rather than Fleetwood Mac and ‘90s pop R&B, they might sound like fellow Angelenos the Wild Reeds. The band will be previewing its new album, “The World We Built,” which is out in April.

“Denim and Leather” brought Saxon to the attention of San Antonio metal fans back in the day. The British metal band once ruled the rock airwaves thanks to that anthem and other tunes championed by the original KISS-FM in the ’70s. Co-headliner UFO is an underrated British hard-rock band that put together a sizzling streak of hits, including “Too Hot to Handle,” “Lights Out” and “Love to Love” (aka “Misty Green and Blue”). Jared James Nichols will open.

Doors at 6, show at 7 p.m. Saturday, Alamo City Music Hall, 1305 E. Houston St. $36-$40 ticketfly.com

Thanks to Austin musician Freddie Krc's SteadyBoy Records, a long-shelved album from 1974 by a pioneering singer-songwriter from the early days of outlaw country will finally see the light of day. Rex Foster, who hails from Comfort, is one of those classic Texas figures from the late '60 who explored rock and country on his debut album, "Roads of Tomorrow." He was a familiar face on the singer-songwriter scene back then. The plan is for Claude Morgan to open the show and then have Foster sing the fabled songs on "The Lost Recordings" beginning to end. Her's hoping he throws in his "Thinkin' About Bob Dylan."

Tribute bands are all the rage right now, and this Chicago-based rock act's showbiz calling is to re-create the sound, look and fury of the original. Led Zeppelin 2 touts itself as more than a greatest hits show and goes for the sometime chaotic rock god noise of the legendary British band, as well as capturing the personality of the musicians who once occupied that space, right down to the belly button and bell-bottom pants.

Experience Hendrix

Unleashing an avalanche of guitar heroes to pay homage to the songs, spirit and pioneering blues-rock guitar style of Jimi Hendrix, "Experience Hendrix" has never failed to dazzle with a combination of ferocity and delicate touch that was the Hendrix spectrum. Taking the stage will be a familiar cast of virtuosos and even some of the late guitarist's friends: Billy Cox, Buddy Guy, Zakk Wylde, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jonny Lang, Dweezil Zappa, Chris Layton, Mato Nanji, Noah Hunt, Ana Popovic, Henri Brown, the Slide Brothers, Scott Nelson, Tim Austin, Brad Whitford and Eric Johnson. Career-spanning and mind-blowing.

Here's the under-the-radar gig of the weekend. The subject of a glowing notice in the New Yorker on the release of her debut album, Brooklyn musician Rubinos has only gotten better. On 2016's "Black Terry Cat," Rubinos powerful vocals,
rhythm-forward electronics and lyrics that shift
from personal to real-world politics recall Merrill
Garbus' tune-yards, though with the volume turned up
until it starts to distort a little.
